Very good feeling in this picture. I voted 9 and not 10 because of 2 things. First the hands look "masculine" to me and contrast (not in lighting but feeling) with the rest of the body. It almost looks like jpeg artifacts around the hand or something. Second the white line going from her right forearm down is a little to noticable. That is it...otherwise a perfect 10.

Seems a bit out of focus. Thought the idea was great and would have rated higher if it was in focus

Nice image in general but there seems to be a funky softness/halo/blur going on. On first glance when voting I didnt really notice it but upon closer view coming back to comment it seems a bit strong. None the less I am sticking with my original vote - 7

Overall feels a soft/ blurry, but somehow ends up looking a bit oversharpened with it (e.g., the left arm)

A good idea and the lighting seems good. Lacking any real highlight values, leaves it feeling grey though.

Something looks wrong here - like a double exposure or something. Don't know if it was intended or not, but it doesn't work for me...
